Re: 10/26 Show Discussion Thread **SPOILERS**

I enjoyed Ken and Tina during this episode. When Ken said they were having fun, I believed him. I could see it in their faces. And it lasted until the temple room search...quite a while. I should have known Aja and Ty were doomed from their soft edit - no harsh words, no over the top anxiety. They were behind, but they kept trucking along - good for them. I dislike the divorcees more and more each episode. They must have studied for the trip by reading internet blogs and carried that snark over into the race...not cool.

This episode I enjoyed the "race" part of it where the majority of the teams were passing each other right and left. Other than that, and seeing highlights of Cambodia, I still do not have this season on my radar as must see TV. Is it just me and my jaded state? I'm not giving up, and I hope to connect before long.

Re: 10/26 Show Discussion Thread **SPOILERS**

I was just thinking and I realized that now that Aja and Ty are gone that there is only only one team of 2 that i completely like which happen to be Dallas and Toni. Every other team has one annoying member or I find both annoying..how sad. Dallas and Toni for the win!

But no one checked in during that allotted time, so the standings remained as they were.

I'm thinking Ex. 2 was what happpened. The production team probably didn't know that they broke the law until a cameraguy told them, which is why Phil talked to them after everyone checked in. At the end of the episode, Phil's narration told us, the viewers, that the 30-min penalty didn't affect the final standings and that Terence & Sarah were still 3rd. The only thing that the penalty affects is that Terence & Sarah will have to leave the pit stop 30 minutes later.

Wiki's in error here - I do remember the first season quite well, and I know there were teams assessed a speeding penalty of X minutes per mile over. The only ones who read a clue wrong that first season I recall were Nancy and Emily, who ended up not following a detour, and got in a taxi instead of a bus - and didn't do the rest of the stop.

They were assessed I think a 24-hour penalty, which let Joe and Bill continue. Had they followed the clue properly, Nancy and Emily would've continued that particular leg because Joe and Bill squandered their fast forward and just took a long break at a hotel at a fairly posh place in India. Still, in the end, it affected Joe and Bill to the point they were 24 hours behind first place and were in Alaska when the first team finished. To my knowledge, they're the only team who was in the top three to not complete the race.

And, if CBS says they were bumped down to fifth place with the penalty, and they say that they were assessed a penalty, then I would guess that it was a double penalty for getting a ticket, which CBS would have to spend time and money to get dismissed or pay for it. Or CBS totally has confused us again.

Personally, I think that if you get a ticket, you should be assessed an hour's penalty, because you are doing something illegal to get an advantage in the race.

Of course, watch that the next leg has the other fast forward, they get it and are in first.

Nancy and Emily were doing the task at hand and (I don't remember if it was a detour) but they did not finish it. They gave up and went on to the pitstop.

Re: 10/26 Show Discussion Thread **SPOILERS**

Last night's was one of the best episodes in a while. It was exciting and the scenery was GORGEOUS! Who knew Cambodia was so beautiful? Anyway, I was definitely rooting for Nick and Starr, I'm a big fan of theirs. It may have something to do with the fact that I've seen Nick in The Fantasticks here in the city, so I've gotta root for our "hometown" boy. I like Terrence and Sarah too, but mainly because they're from NY. Did anyone hear Terrence yell at Sarah for running ahead of him in the airport?! The guys a nut but he cracks me up. I can't see those two being together for long.
